Business Communication alum Julia Tucker took to the field on Saturday, August 11, 2018, at Oriole Park at Camden Yards to sing the National Anthem prior to the Orioles' game against the Boston Red Sox. Over 18,000 fans were on hand for her solo, and though the Orioles later lost the game 6-4, it was still a great day to celebrate, as second baseman Brian Roberts and sportscaster Fred Manfra were inducted into the Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame prior to the game. Congratulations, Julia! (Photographs courtesy of Julia Tucker)

 

Senior Molly Myers (left) offered some insights through LinkedIn about what she has learned through her internship at Platinum Reputations. She writes:

1. Business meetings are stressful. They are also very interesting and gave me a chance to learn so much more about running a business.

2. A company that responds to its clients' feedback is more likely to get repeat business than those that don't.

3. Creating social media content for businesses is harder than it seems. I hit many creative roadblocks along the way, but it's definitely a fun career.

4. When given the opportunity to network... Take it!

5. Always always always ask questions! If you don't understand something or if you don't know how to do something, someone is there to help. Learn from others and seek help with your work when needed.
